REMOVING OLD 8" PVC WATER PIPE

THE CREW IS NOW REMOVING MOST OF THE OLD 8" WATER PIPE. THE PARTS THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED WILL BE FILLED WITH GROUT.

THEY STARTED AT THE BRIDGE REMOVING THE BLACK TEMPORARY WATER PIPE..

THERE WERE SEVERAL ELBOWS AND VALVES OF VARIOUS SIZES..

THE VALVES HAD ONLY BEEN IN THE GROUND FOR 6 WEEKS, SO THEY COULD BE SALVAGED AND REUSED..

COUNTY WATER DEPARTMENT PERSONAL SCRAPED THEM CLEAN AND REMOVED THEM BACK TO THE STORAGE ROOM..

NEXT WAS THE OLD FIRE HYDRANT AT THE FIRE STATION..

THEN THE PAVEMENT ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IN FRONT OF THE CAPRI FISH HOUSE WAS REMOVED..

THE OLD 8" PIPE WAS EXPOSED AND A CHAIN WAS WRAPPED AROUND IT.. 

THE OLD WATER PIPE WAS PULLED FROM THE GROUND..

AND STACKED ALONG SIDE THE ROAD FOR LATER REMOVAL..

FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND WAS THE OTHER TRACK HOE THAT WAS FILLING THE DITCH AND SMOOTHING THE GRADE..

MEANWHILE,  THE SURVEYOR IS MARKING PIPES FOR THE FINAL BLUE PRINT.
